Hi all. I am new to this site but I hope I will come back regularly as I am a new collector and highly interested in ancient coins. I have about 10 or 11 coins of which I know very little. Here are 2 and I was wondering if you nice people would be able to tell me anything about them. I would like to apologise in advance for the bad images. Its dark here :P

Coin 1:
Weight - 26.35g Width - 3.2 cm
2-Coins-Set-1-|-Repro-Syracuse;-Constantius-II-Fel-Temp
2-Coins-Set-1-|-Repro-Syracuse;-Constantius-II-Fel-Temp

Coin 2:
Weight - 2.49g Width - 1.6 cm
2-Coins-Set-1-|-Repro-Syracuse;-Constantius-II-Fel-Temp
2-Coins-Set-1-|-Repro-Syracuse;-Constantius-II-Fel-Temp

I'm sorry the images are so large and those aren't hairs in the picture but rubber shavings from maths work I was doing earlier today :P

Coin 1: I wish we could give you better news, but I'm afraid this one is not a genuine ancient coin. It's a brass replica of a silver decadrachm of Syracuse.

Coin 2: Late Roman Bronze, emperor Constantius II I believe, reverse type FEL TEMP REPARATIO soldier-spearing-fallen-horseman, mintmark ANAI (Antioch mint, 11th officina).

I agree about the first coin. At least the second one is a nice example from the Antioch mint.
